Winter Alert for Hypertension Patients
"During cold weather, the body restricts
blood flow in an effort to maintain temperature and retain heat," said Dr
Manpreet Singh Bindra, Chief Cardiologist at Cardio Life Care, Ludhiana.
"In return, the survival mechanism
restricts blood movement and causes blood pressure to rise." Dr. Bindra suggests the following winter weather tips:-
•Minimize outdoor activity.
•Dress in several layers of loose-fitting wool, silk, or polypropylene clothing.
•Always get your head covered with turban/scalf/hat or mufler.
•Wear mittens instead of gloves.
•Eat well-balanced meals.
•Avoid alcohol and caffeine because they cause the body to lose heat more rapidly.
•Dress in several layers of loose-fitting wool, silk, or polypropylene clothing.
•Always get your head covered with turban/scalf/hat or mufler.
•Wear mittens instead of gloves.
•Eat well-balanced meals.
•Avoid alcohol and caffeine because they cause the body to lose heat more rapidly.
Dr. Bindra notes that about five percent of patients
in Punjab suffer from a vascular condition known as Raynaud's Phenomenon, in
which cold temperatures or strong emotions cause blood vessel spasms that block
blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. People who have this
heightened sensitivity to cold experience numbing of the fingers, toes, lips,
nose, and ears, their body parts become red, white, or blue due to a shrinking
of blood vessels and limited blood flow.
Raynaud's Phenomenon usually affects household working women.
Smoking, some heart and blood medications and migraine medications can cause primary
Raynaud's Phenomenon.
As the temperature is falling rapidly, we are
getting hypertension patients with aggravation of symptoms in routine, said Dr.
Bindra.
So patients are being advised to follow diet and regimen instruction to
avoid any complications in coming winter days.
He further noted that
Homoeopathy is best and safe of all in Hypertension as most of the patients
suffering from High Blood Pressure are in high risk of side effects and
withdrawl effects of Hypertension Allopathy Medicines. Once a patient starts
allopathic medicine for Hypertension, he has to take it for whole life and it
becomes addiction for the patient. Other side Homoeopathy Medicine has to be
given for short duration of time and once patient recovers well, all
medications are stopped with immediate effect and patients can live for so many
years without any re-currence of symptoms and without any side effects or
withdrawl effects, patient lives stress free and healthy life ahead.

A Case of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Pleural Effusion and Acute Kidney Injury
A CASE OF DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER, PLEURAL EFFUSION AND ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
Patient named Mr.Jaspreet Singh, aged 18 years, being declared at the verge of death in ICU of a leading Hospital of North India after fatal strike by Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever leading to uncontrolled hemorrhages and Acute Kidney Injury being put on Ventilator Support System after Pleural Effusion and Hypovolaemic Shock, knocked at the door of Homeopathy in end stage when Conventional System of Medicine failed to save a precious life.
How it feels when Phosphorus takes place of Heparin, Serum anguillae replaces Lasix, Ventilator Support System gets a substitute as Antimonium tart and Comatose is prevented by Opium. How it feels when a multi-specialty expert team Allopathic Physicians salute Master Hahnemann’s science, let’s discuss in this presentation.
How beautifully the Life of patient was saved homoeopathically in presence of Renowned Allopathic Physicians with their own consent is self explanatory theme of this case.
